Review on Premium Quality Black Diamond Climbing Gloves - Medium Size | Must-Have Men's Accessories for Rock Climbing Enthusiasts by Stephanie Burke

These gloves did a great job on a recent climb to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. A few others we've seen have tried using $5 leather gardening gloves or even lined bike gloves to lift those cables (google images and you'll see what I'm talking about) and had all sorts of problems. These gloves have an excellent grip and are completely non-slip, which is very important for your safety in the mountains. My wife was on this trip and when she responded the first words out of her mouth (after "Hello Honey" of course) were that these gloves were fantastic and I had to write a Revain review about them. Not only were they perfect for ropes, they also kept her hands in tip-top shape when using them with her climbing poles on steep slopes. She wasn't a free climber (so she didn't use her fingertips to climb rocks) but she recommends these 100%. It is also not very visible in the photo, but there are holes in the hand straps so that you can attach the gloves to the backpack with a carabiner.
